The Photographic Assistants Training Course is designed to take the sweat out of learning how to handle professional lighting equipment. It is a one-day intensive lighting workshop aimed at those intending to enter the industry at assistant level, or at those simply wishing to further their skills and experience in this area.

We aim to provide you with an overview of:

• Cabling and power distribution
• Stands/grip
• Colour temperature
• Continuous/Flash lighting
• Brief overview of cameras/digital workflow.

The afternoon will be spent putting your skills into practice looking at set demonstrations and gaining some hands on experience using the equipment. You will learn what is expected from an assistant throughout the day.
